The City of Visalia is accepting applications for its Youth Non-Profit Grant Program, a competitive financial-assistance opportunity for nonprofit agencies that provide programs and services benefiting children and teenagers under age 18 in Visalia, California. The City announced the current application period on October 16, 2026.
Individual awards: $1,000 to $6,500. The City reports $75,000 in total program funding; this is the overall program pool, not the maximum award to an individual applicant.
Deadline: Monday, November 16, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. The October 16 City announcement does not specify a time-zone abbreviation. Applicant projects may support existing youth programs, new programs, or scholarship programs. Under the City’s general published funding guidelines, applicants must be nonprofit agencies operating in Visalia, the funded programs must benefit qualifying Visalia youth, and only one application per agency is accepted.
Application: The City says current applications may be obtained from its Youth Grants website, from City Hall West at 707 W. Acequia Avenue, Visalia, or by contacting the City Finance Division. Optional application workshops are scheduled October 20, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. and October 21, 2026 at noon; workshop attendance is not required.
Applicants should obtain the current application packet and verify all allowable-expense, documentation, matching-fund, and submission requirements before applying. The City’s standing program page still contains outdated 2026-deadline language; the October 16, 2026 announcement provides the applicable November 16 deadline for the currently announced round.
